Did you teach them how to say Melbourne properly? They seem to think it's some type of bun._________________Scire aliquid laus est, pudor est non discere velle

I've spent my NYE with a bunch of Australians. While the cultural distance isn't that large, geographically you can hardly get further. The most fun part was when the poor Aussies tried to outdrink us Poles, the inventors of vodka Poor poor fellows, the hangover must've been of biblical proportions...

When I was a tad younger I was having a quiet drink with a young, petite welsh girl, we got half way through our 7th bottle of vodka before I had to call it quits. Still to this day I can't believe the capacity that she could drink, me, I'm an alcoholic who drinks alcoholics under the table and would gladly drink vodka with the poles._________________(_**_) *note to self, insert bottle at other end.

.75l bottles. I've drunk with Russians before when I was working on a mine site. They were a state sponsored delegation who came over to check out the extraction technology for the low grade ore. I have never seen so much vodka drunk. It was something like 12 Russians and 20 staff got rid of 48 bottles of vodka 36 bottles of red wine and the same in white then the delegation went to the wet mess and proceeded to drink everyone else under the table me included._________________(_**_) *note to self, insert bottle at other end.
